Thank you. I got stuck on http://docs.python.org/api/importing.html (as I need it to be called from C(++)) and found no way to specify a path there [and there aren't too many cross references in the python docs *sigh*] I have now something similar to class CPyObject { public: explicit CPyObject(PyObject * pObject) : m_pObject(pObject) { /*Check();*/ } ~CPyObject() { Py_XDECREF(m_pObject); } operator PyObject *() { return m_pObject; } private: CPyObject(const CPyObject &); // intentionally not implemented void operator=(const CPyObject &); // intentionally not implemented PyObject * m_pObject; }; static PyObject * LoadModule(const char * mod, const char * path) { CPyObject pyImpModule ( PyImport_Import(PyString_FromString("imp")) ); CPyObject pyImpFindModuleFunc ( PyObject_GetAttrString(pyImpModule, "find_module") ); CPyObject pyImpFindModuleArgs ( Py_BuildValue("s[s]", mod, path) ); CPyObject pyImpFindModuleRes ( PyObject_CallObject(pyImpFindModuleFunc, pyImpFindModuleArgs) ); CPyObject pyImpLoadModuleFunc ( PyObject_GetAttrString(pyImpModule, "load_module") ); CPyObject pyImpLoadModuleArgs ( Py_BuildValue("sOOO", mod, PyTuple_GetItem(pyImpFindModuleRes, 0), PyTuple_GetItem(pyImpFindModuleRes, 1), PyTuple_GetItem(pyImpFindModuleRes, 2) )); return PyObject_CallObject(pyImpLoadModuleFunc, pyImpLoadModuleArgs); } which seems to do what I want even if it looks a bit too verbose for my taste and I don't know whether I go the reference counting right. Thanks for the hint, Andre' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
